WWII T-6 Texan Harvard

[uniform7]

I have been looking online for the information but can anyone tell me if the T-6 Texan Harvard had a white navigation light and where was it if it did? I have the Virtavia T6 and the place a rather large light on the rudder.

Yes. There is a white navigation light on the vertical stabilizer about 2/3rd of the way up from the fuselage. At least that is what I am seeing on the earlier models, both photos and diagrams, from my reference book on the NA T-6 by Dan Hagedorn.

T-6 Texan Lights

Can you give me a link to some pictures? I have been reworking the lights on my Virtavia Harvard, taking the landing lights out of the model and adding them to the aircraft.cfg. The tail light just seemed way to big and when I used modelconverter to make them smaller after I messed with it I could not turn them off. The reason they used the model so like you said the light is on the end of the rudder and the light needs to move with the rudder . I am trying to relocate the light on the bottom of the rudder back on the fuselage. I must have to much time on my hands Ha!!

Here's one link I found.

Here's a 2nd link.

And a 3rd link.

I'm also seeing a lot of Texans with the white navigation light at the bottom or the rudder instead of the vertical stabilizer. You can clearly see it on this image.

I have redone the lights to work from the aircraft.cfg and I used the landing lights from David Eckert and Warwick Carter's T6 Texan and the tail light just under the Rudder but for some reason the wing landing lights do not light up the ground like they do on David Eckert and Warwick Carter's

Can you paste in the [LIGHTS] section from the aircraft.cfg file here?

You bet! Now this is the Virtavia T 6 Texan Lights (I added Flames on the exhaust as well):
[lights]


//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing


light.0 = 3, -1.33, -20.90, -0.63, fx_navred
light.1 = 3, -1.33, 20.90, -0.63, fx_navgre
light.2 = 4, -0.50, 0.00, 2.20, fx_vclight
light.3 = 4, -4.50, 0.00, 2.20, fx_vclight


light.4=6, 7.80, 2.15, 1.30, fx_Texan Flame


light.11=5, -17.0, 0.0, -0.8, fx_navwhi


light.12=5, 1.95, 9.05, -1.75, fx_landing
light.13=5, 1.95, -9.05, -1.75, fx_landing


This is the Virtavia T 6 Harvard (The same except for the exhaust flames):

Will these light config. work in fs2004?

I don't see why not. In fact the exhaust flame effects I used there are from FS9 aircraft and the fx,landing lights are the default. But unfortunately I have yet found a way to get the wing lights to illuminate the ground.

Here's the skinny on the aft navigation light on the T-6/SNJ. Originally, there was a small, white navigation light on either side of the vertical stabilizer. The T-6G/SNJ-7 had both a white and a red light on the trailing end of the rudder.

Been looking for pictures of them at night, no luck. Here are a couple of mine as you can see the Virtavia people went a little overboard.
